worried

sometimes my friends get me into trouble. i know they mean well, but...

today i'm taking a long study break and driving down to san luis obispo to meet courtney and barrett and hang out for the afternoon. i was supposed to go to l.a. for three days...but finals and final reports are taking much longer than i expected. i'm frustrated that i couldn't stick with the original visit-l.a. plan, but glad courtney was willing to compromise.

(12:09 a.m.)

san luis obispo was nice. i got to see courtney, along with the rest of her family. we had a nice lunch and walked around the downtown area and looked in the little shops, and then hung out in barrett's apartment for a while. the drive down there was lovely. three hours down, hang out for a while, three hours back. it didn't feel like i was int he car for six hours today.

california is such a beautiful place; the hills and fields and bright blue sky was enough to keep me going, along with the great music collection i took along. yes, i admit, i am easy that way. just give me music, a car, an open road, and a warm sunny day. when i have those, life feels perfect. :)

j.r. instant messaged me tonight...from new zealand. how random. james had given him my contact info. new zealand. {dreamy sigh}

i came home to a reassuring email tonight. it made me happy, and sorry that i missed fountain-hopping this afternoon.
